Please Save My Brother, Beast God!
Star Dou Great Forest.
In a relatively open woodland, a huge bluish-gray rock lay quietly, and a girl sat on the rock.
The girl had long, jet-black hair, which was braided into a long scorpion braid at the back of her head.
She sat there, her hands braced on the rock, her body slightly hunched over, her eyes filled with sadness and a sense of bewilderment.
Surrounding her was a colossal creature with a bull's head and a snake's body, its entire body blue, stretching for hundreds of meters. It coiled around the rocks, casting its shadow over the girl.
The former is Xiao Wu, and the latter is Da Ming.
Xiao Wu sat for a while, then slowly raised her head to look at Da Ming, her voice choked with emotion, and asked.
"Da Ming... how is Er Ming doing now?"
When she asked that question, her voice was full of worry, and there was even a hint of tears glistening in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Da Ming remained silent for a moment, then lowered his massive bull head slightly and responded in a deep voice.
"No news yet..."
Xiao Wu's shoulders trembled slightly when she heard the answer, and then she continued to ask.
"Then... what about Third Brother Third Brother? How is he?"
When Da Ming heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed in his huge eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"That human... should be alright."
It said this aloud, but a surge of discontent welled up inside it.
My Sister Xiao Wu, she clearly left that human resolutely, yet she's filled with sorrow after leaving. How can a mere human be ranked alongside Er Ming?
Especially now that Er Ming has practically disappeared, while that human is probably still living in a good place.
What kind of bewitching potion did that human give to Sister Xiao Wu?
The more it thought about it, the more depressed it felt, but seeing Xiao Wu's sad appearance, it couldn't bear to say another harsh word.
Xiao Wu lowered her head, her eyes swirling with complex emotions. After a long while, she slowly exhaled, her voice filled with exhaustion.
"Da Ming... don't be sad, things will get better."
When Da Ming heard this, he couldn't help but feel helpless.
It thought to itself that it was the one who should have said those words to her, but instead, Sister Xiao Wu was the one comforting it.
Seeing Xiao Wu's forced composure, it felt quite distressed.
Xiao Wu has been feeling guilty all this time, blaming herself for what happened to Er Ming.
Da Ming knew that Xiao Wu felt extremely guilty, but things couldn't continue like this.
It remained silent for a moment, then slowly made a suggestion.
"Sister Xiao Wu, should we... go find those guys in the Core Area?"
When Xiao Wu heard this, her gaze fell on Da Ming, a complex look flashing in her eyes, before she spoke.
"Da Ming, didn't you say... those guys in the Core Area wouldn't come to help?"
She lowered her voice slightly as she said this, then continued.
"When my mother died... they didn't do anything either."
"Right now... they won't offer any help."
When Da Ming heard this, a look of pain flashed in its huge eyes. It naturally knew that what Xiao Wu said was true, but it just couldn't bear to see Xiao Wu like this.
It was silent for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice.
"I'm worried that if you continue like this, something bad will happen, Sister Xiao Wu."
Xiao Wu was slightly taken aback when she heard this, then raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye with the back of her hand, forcing a smile, her voice carrying a hint of feigned ease.
"I'm fine... I'll try my best to become stronger."
"I'm already level 39, and in a few more years... I'll become even stronger."
Her voice trembled slightly as she said those words.
Level 39 is indeed a very good achievement among Soul Master of the same age, but... but what does level 39 mean when facing Shrek Academy?
Xiao Wu knew perfectly well that her strength was useless in the Shrek Academy and she couldn't avenge her mother.
She recalled Tang San's conflict with the Shrek Academy, and how Er Ming had gone to cause trouble for Ye Xinglan on her behalf, only to disappear without a trace.
The more she thought about it, the tighter her heart felt.
She had also inquired about information from some humans who had entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beast, but the answers she received only made her more desperate.
It is said that even the Spirit Hall is no match for the Shrek Academy.
The Spirit Hall... that's one of the top powers on the Douluo Continent.
Even the Spirit Hall was no match for them... so what about me?
What could I possibly use to fight against that behemoth?
Xiao Wu wanted to save Er Ming and find out if Tang San was safe, but she found that she couldn't do anything about it.
She channeled all her grief and anger into motivation, knowing that the only thing she could do was to become stronger, even stronger.
Seeing Xiao Wu's sorrowful appearance, Da Ming felt extremely sorry for her.
It thought to itself that if Er Ming were still alive, he certainly wouldn't be able to bear seeing Xiao Wu so heartbroken.
After sitting for a while, Xiao Wu finally stood up and walked towards a grove of trees not far away, preparing to continue her cultivation.
Da Ming watched her retreating figure, his enormous eyes swirling with complex emotions.
After Xiao Wu's figure completely disappeared into the forest, Da Ming slowly turned around, his massive body making a dull thud as it moved across the ground.
It made a decision: it would venture into the Core Area to seek help from those Ferocious Beast.
No matter what, I am a Soul Beast, and I am already Soul Beast of over 100,000 years. Even if I haven't reached the level to enter their ranks, I am still considered a fairly powerful Soul Beast outside.
A flash of anger crossed Da Ming's enormous eyes as he headed towards the Core Area of Star Dou Great Forest.
After an unknown amount of time, the Da Ming arrived at a place not far from the Core Area.
Not far ahead stood a Soul Beast resembling a giant lion. The Soul Beast had three heads, its entire body was covered in crimson fur, and it was over five meters long. Its canine teeth gleamed with a crimson-gold luster. It was none other than the Scarlet King.
The Scarlet King stood there, his three pairs of eyes simultaneously fixed on the Da Ming, their gazes carrying a hint of disdain.
It looked at Da Ming and spoke in a low voice.
"What does a Soul Beast with a lifespan of over 100,000 years want here?"
Seeing that the Scarlet King did not back down at all, Da Ming spoke directly.
"Please, Beast God, help me save my brother!"
When the Scarlet King heard this, his three heads shook slightly at the same time, and then let out a low sneer.
"It's out of the question."
"The boss is busy improving his strength and won't be helping you."
When Da Ming heard this, the light in his eyes did not waver in the slightest, and he continued to speak.
"Then... I'll have no choice but to go see Di Tian in person."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the three pairs of eyes of the Scarlet King, and then he let out a deafening roar.
"Are you trying to break the rules?!"
This roar carried the imposing aura of Three-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Even though Da Ming was longer than Scarlet King, he still felt a terrifying pressure at this moment, and his huge body couldn't help but tense up slightly.
"Please, Beast God... save my brother!"
